Post Punk Kitchen 100

38) Kansha, by Elizabeth Andoh

This book was severely overlooked, but for those of us that loved it, we loved it hard. From the book description “The celebration of Japan’s vegan and vegetarian traditions begins with kansha—appreciation—an expression of gratitude for nature’s gifts and the efforts and ingenuity of those who transform nature’s bounty into marvelous food. ” Lagusta says “It gave me a new way to think about honoring the ingredients I cook with every day.” That’s what it’s all about.
